Come Have Tea With Me!


It was tea party time!  About 10 new friends came over and we had tea and cookies.  It was a a nice evening of laughing and visiting.  

I want to share the recipes though.  They were good and easy - my favorite kind of recipes!

On the top plate:

Peanut Butter Cup Browies

1 box brownie mix
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350.  Spray or grease 40 mini muffin cups.  Prepare boxed brownie mix as directed on box.  Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups (about 1 heaping teaspoon.)  Bake 10-12 minutes or until top is set and toothpick inserted into center comes out slightly wet.  After brownies are out of oven, wiat for centers to fall.  This will happen as cooling.  If not, then tap with back of teaspoon to make hole for peanut butter.

Place peanut butter in small microwave safe bowl.  Microwave on high for 45 seconds then stir, while brownies are still warm spoon about 1/2 teaspoon peanutbutter into center of each brownie.  Top with semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanutbutter chips.  Cool completely in pan. 


Fruit Pizza Cookies

1 roll of sugar cookies
8 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 kiwi, 1 cup strawberries, 1 cup blueberries

Cook sugar cookies according to directions on package.  
Beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together.  Top each cookies with cream cheese mixture then put a few slices of strawberry, kiwi and blueberry on each cookie.

3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
Blend:
1 cup shortening
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup sugar
Add 2 eggs, one at a time as blending with mixer.
Add flour mixture.
Add 1 tablespoon vanilla
Add 6 oz. of dried cranberry, 1 cup white chocolate chips, 1 cup chopped pecans

Sister's Birthday Gift

I just had to do Mark's idea - and he helped me - to make a gift for Nancy for her birthday.  I had seen this little poem about growing up with a sister and thought it was perfect.  So we went to several thrift stores looking for the perfect sized canvas picture and after only two stops - found it! This is the canvas with the letters I stuck on it and I began there in the bottom corner to paint it a dark brown.  The canvas is a golden with thin trees and some words in cursive in a light brown.   As you see, I was using a paint brush, but I changed to a small roller.  It worked much much better. Completely painted the top and the sides of the canvas a brown color.  Then I let it dry - probably about 30 minutes.  Then pealed off the letters! Here is the finished product: And it's true.  I did tell on her - it was for her own good. :)
